Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 10, 1918.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that 1, JANAS JAoUCIs, a citi zen of Russia, and a resident of East Chicago, in the county of Lake and State of indiana, have invented a new and Improved Heater, or' which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description.

This invention relates to heating devices, and particularly to an improved heaterl for buildings wherein the usual waste heat from the smoke pipe is utilized in heating one or more rooms. l

The object in View is to provide a heater which is adapted to receive the smoke and gases from a stove of any kind and to cause the heat therein to be radiated over a predeterluined surface so as to fully utilize the heat therefrom.

A still further object in view is to provide a heater wherein smoke and lhot gases from a kitchen range may be caused to warm the adjacent room.

1n the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a front view of part of a wall with an embodiment of the invention shown applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is an edge view of the. structure shown in Fig. 1, same being taken approximately on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal, vertical section through a heater shown in Fig. 1, together wi th a chin ney associated therewith.

Fig. 11- is a section through Fig. 3 on line --l-l.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by nui'nerals, 1 indicates a wall of any desired kind, in which a heater 2 is placed, said heater forming part of the wall, and being arranged to represent tile or other structure as desired, either on one or both faces. The provision of the heater in the wall and forming part thereof, is to cause the heater to heat the space on each side the wall which may be two rooms or more. The heater 2 is constructed of a plurality of hollow tiles or bricks 3 of any material, as for instance fire brick, said bricks 3 being constructed with overlapping joints as shown in Fig. 3, so as to provide a tortuous passageway i eX- tending from the smoke inlet member 5 to the outer smoke outlet member 6. It will be noted that the end bricks 7 are formed with side openings 8 so as to provide a vertical passageway from one row of bricks to the other. A damper 9 is arranged at the end of the inlet brick 3 so that the smoke cannot pass through the hollow member or brick 10 into the :chimney 11 directly rom brick 3. It is, of course, evident that if the damper 9, which is operated by the crank 12, is moved from the position shownin Fig. 2 to a position substantially at right angles thereto the smoke may pass directly into the chimney from brick 3. However, in order lto absorb the heat units the smoke and hot gases passing through the stove 13 the damper 9 is maintained closed as shown in Fig. 3 and the upper damper 14 is opened, either entirely or partially, whereby there will be a draft fromthe chimney 11 for causing the smoke to pass through the passageway -t and become nally discharged into the chimney 11. Damper 14 may be adjusted at any time by the crank 15 so as to occupy a full open or full closed position, or in fact any intermediate position. Vhen heat is desired the parts are arranged substantially as shown in Fig. 3, but in case heat is not desired damper 14 is closedV and damper 9 is opened.

In order to utilize the heat rising from the stove 13 and at the same time carry o smoke and other objectionable matter a hood 16 is provided above the stove, said hood being provided with one or more windows 17 and with a supporting pipe 18, which pipe is tltted into the pipe 19. The pipe 19 is fitted snugly into the hollow tile or block 20 so that the smoke passing through the hood into the pipes 1S and 19 may be discharged into tile or block 2O and from thence discharged into the chimney 11 through the tiles 21 and 22. The passage oi' hot gas or smoke in this manner will heat the upper row of tiles and consequently assist in maintaining the heater 2 at a proper temperature. A damper may be provided Jfor the pipe 19, which damperis opened and closed by a crank 23, which in turn is operated by link 24. connected with a lever 25 which lever is moved manually by the reciprocation of rod 26. This arrangement of rods and levers permits any one to open and close the damper from a distant point at any time. In regard to supporting the hood 16, it will be noted that the pipe 19 is connected by hook members 27 to pins 28 and in addition is supported by brackets 29 and 30. Each of these brackets is provided with a toot 31 fitting below the hood and secured thereto if desired, or any means, as for instance, a bolt. The outer end of the bracket is provided with an extension 32 projecting into, and if desired, through wall l as shown in Fig. 2. ,A Vertical bracing bar 33 is connected with the outer end of the bracket 29 and to a transverse cleat 34 at the lower end, said cleat being also secured Vto the bracket 29. l The stove 13 arranged below the hood may be of any desired kind. It will be, of course, understood that the smoke discharge member 35 of stove 13 fits into the member 5 or comes in contact therewith in any manner so as to discharge smoke and heated gases therein whether the heater 2 is used or is shut ofi".

What I claim is: Y l

A heater of the character described comprising a wall formed of hollow tile blocks, the center blocks being open at both ends and the end blocks being open at one end and at one side, the open side of one end block registering with the open side of the next adjacent block whereby a tortuous passageway is produced extending the full width of the wall, a chimney connected to said passageway at the top and at the bottom, a damper arranged aoljacent said chimney in each of said passage-- ways, and means for directing smoke and hot gases to said passageway near the lower damper whereby upon a proper manipulation of the dampers smokeV and hot gases may be caused to pass into said chimney through either of the openings and thereby heat said Wall to the desired extent without in any way affecting the draft of the stove supplying the smoke and hot gases.
